Exhibitions giant Hyve Group is launching a new fashion podcast, ‘Fashion Questions’, aiming “to give voice to a powerful network of fashion industry insiders”.

The organiser of fashion events including Pure London, Scoop, and Moda at Spring & Autumn Fair, Hyve said each episode of Fashion Questions will focus on “a different question with a different change-maker to understand their thoughts on what the answer could be”. 
 
Published twice a month, it has lined up a range of experts and retailers to talk about issues including ‘why we are still talking and not doing when it comes to the circular economy’, to ‘why is everyone so crazy about Miu Miu’s micro miniskirt’?

Hosted by Lina Vaz, the newly-appointed editor for Retail UK at Hyve, Fashion Questions “will welcome a wide variety of guests”. 
 
It will debut with Emily Gordon-Smith, content director at trends intelligence expert Stylus. She will discuss the Miu Miu micromini trend phenomenon, among other trends. 
 
Upcoming guests also include Doug Stephens, author and retail futurist, and Annick Ireland, founder and CEO of Immaculate Vegan.
 
With a return to a schedule of events comparable to pre-pandemic levels, Hyve’s launch of the podcast is expected to take advantage of “the pent-up demand we continue to see among our customer communities,” CEO Mark Shashoua said in April.
